Project 366 {WEEK 8}

2/29/2016

With spring break on the horizon, our family has been trying to decide whether or not we should join the masses and hit the road for a week of fun in the sun or a mountain adventure. Up until this week, we weren't really planning on doing much. My husband's been traveling non-stop for work and would rather stick around the house for a while, whereas the kids and I could seriously use a change of scenery.

I decided to make a pros and cons list to help us decide:
PROS:
We desperately need a change of scenery
Need time to "recharge our batteries"
Wherever we go, it HAS to be warmer than Wisco
Quality family time
Explore somewhere new
I'll HAVE to buy new shoes before we leave
CONS:
Expensive
Stressful to plan
Early break, so the weather may not be good
Long car ride with 2 bored kids
Struggle to find allergy-friendly restaurants
No need to buy new shoes
It's going to be a tough decision. But throw in some new camera gear and I'll have this trip booked faster than you can say "Spring Break!"

I don't know where this week went. I was busy with work and more field trips, and the time just flew by!
Saturday was like a dream, the weather was unseasonably warm and we spent it outside watching the Marquette Men's Lacrosse home opener down at the newly updated Valley Field. I felt like I had come out of hibernation. Just knowing that it's lacrosse season again gives me hope that spring is on it's way.

I wasn't expecting much out of this week. Waking up early Sunday morning with a sick child basically set the tone. It was snowy and cold and headachy and would've been perfect for one of those quiet afternoon naps that I haven't had in over 10 years. Instead, it was a hectic mess of chauffeuring, school trip chaperoning, valentine preparing, party treat baking, house cleaning, laundry folding, headache nursing craziness.

Despite all the busyness, I still managed to get my photo of the day. But I must say, these prompts are not getting any easier. I've had to "stretch my brain", as my sweet girl would say.

I'm trying something new this week...as part of my 2016 business plan, I've decided to launch an Etsy Shop to sell a selection of my stock photos. The decision was based on a conversation my husband and I had last week. I've been looking for a platform to sell photos, but nothing seems to be a good fit. He suggested Etsy. Knowing only that Etsy is primarily for selling artsy/crafty, handmade items, I was hesitant, but curious. I did a little research and found that several photographers display and sell their work here. So I signed up. And so far I've had 12 views...half of which were of my own doing. But I'll let it ride.

The problem is that I'm horrible at self-promotion. I'm just not wired that way. I completely shy away from any talk of myself or my work. I can promote clients' work 24/7, but when it comes to putting my own name out there, I'm a disaster. Maybe this Etsy Shop is a good thing for me; a smaller audience to get my feet wet before I dive into the deep end. Let's see what February has to offer.
